Lost Hope Fairy Gown

A few of us who are fans of the book/series Jonathan Strange and Mr. Norrell decided it would be fun to do fairies from the Gentleman with the Thistledown Hair's sinister manor - Lost Hope. Mine is basically a regular changeable green/white silk regency gown with a sequined net open robe that I hand beaded with clear and iridescent beads and black freshwater pearls . I wanted it to look sort of like fairy finery that had been drowned and tattered or left in the sea - a Lady in a Gown the Color of Shipwreck.

I still need to finish all my accessories but I'm pleased with how it turned out!

P.S. You can catch a glimpse of the iridescent green pointy-toed flats I found on ebay to go with it.
